How to turn your Vancouver work trip into a Wellness retreat
We know work-life balance doesn’t always come easy for entrepreneurs and remote workers, but we encourage you to find ways to make your personal health and wellness a priority. Our members who work out of Vancouver coworking spaces and are lucky enough to have a beautiful coastal city that promotes a healthy, active lifestyle to enjoy on off hours. If you’re going to Vancouver, why not turn your work trip into a pseudo-wellness retreat?
Here are a few things to help you stay zen when you’re in Vancouver for work:
Start slow with a cup of Joe at Revolver Coffee Inc.
Ok, we know you can’t totally ditch the work for a wellness retreat, but who says that answering morning emails can’t be relaxing? Pop over to Revolver Coffee Inc. to start your day easy with a warm cup of Revolver coffee. Locals and tourists alike love this spot for its unique menu of coffees from around the world.
Clear your mind in Stanley Park
There are few things that kill stress as well as getting outdoors and raising your heart rate does. For Vancouverites, that often means popping over to Stanley Park. Dating back to 1896, Stanley Park is Vancouver’s first park and spreads about 1,000 acres around downtown. It’s praised for its evolution as a natural forested park with little landscape architecture or man-made structures. We recommend you opt for the most popular way to explore Stanley Park: take the 10 kilometer seawall route by foot or by bike.
Fuel your body at Glory Juice Co.
Complement your active outing by eating something nourishing. It’s all too easy to skip a meal when you’re on the go with work, but you need to remember to fuel your body — especially on the busy days. Glory Juice Co. is a local favourite and an easy stop to make anywhere in Vancouver. There are 5 locations across the city, all serving up always-organic goods. On the Glory menu you’ll find cold-pressed juices, smoothies, and food including hearty bowls, salads, soups, and toasts.
